    The 223 is an awesome cal I have found the cheap 55grn hornady SP one of the best bullets to use they do massive damage with should shots and work well on fallow and reds as well. I think it is the same bullet that is loaded in the bulk training ammo if you are not a reloader.
    These work well in the 1 in 12 twist. You will be impressed with those cheap little projectiles.

    What sort of distance do you normally shoot from on deer?
